Former Councillors and elected officers in local government councils in the State of Osun, whose tenure ended February 5, 2021 now have cause to clash the cymbals and pop champagne.
Reason: Governor of the State of Osun, Mr Adegboyega Oyetola, has approved their severance packages and payment will begin very soon.
This was released in a statement by the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Prince Adebayo Yekeen Adeleke,who enthused that the Governor’s gesture will put smiles on the faces of the former elected officers.
“It is also a gesture of appreciation to the officers for their service to their respective Councils and to the state in general,” Adeleke said, continuing:
“Governor Oyetola, a leader who understands the values of service, appreciates the individual contributions of these officers to the development of the state and to their respective councils.
“He has approved thus that we commence payment of severance package for each officer as an overt expression of his appreciation of their services. Governor Oyetola wishes them well in their future endeavours.”
